When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Your turnover dashboard is behind schedule. Again. Why? This course teaches you to define project planning terms (milestone, dependency, risk), build a simple Gantt chart for an HR analytics deployment, and document the risks that derail rollouts before they become emergencies. You'll apply lessons from real cases where payroll systems launched without testing and cost millions. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, you'll draft stakeholder updates and risk mitigation plans—then verify the AI's output matches your actual data. Through realistic role plays where you present project plans to steering committees and coach dialogues where you navigate competing priorities and resource constraints, you'll develop the planning discipline that separates successful deployments from headline disasters. Designed for HR professionals, people analytics practitioners, and anyone tasked with deploying HR technology. No project management background required. Access to free ChatGPT or Claude recommended.

Module details

In this module, you'll apply your understanding of why HR analytics projects fail—and it's usually not the analytics. Through a discovery role play, you'll confront a dashboard deployment that's already behind schedule and identify the planning gaps that caused it. Then you'll master the vocabulary: milestones (checkpoints), dependencies (sequences), and risks (threats to delivery).

Using an online Gantt tool, you'll create a visual project plan for deploying a turnover dashboard—adding tasks, setting dates, marking dependencies, and identifying risks. You'll practice analyzing risks and documenting your plan and risks for stakeholders using AI assistance, and verify that AI output matches your actual project data.
